Not worded like that. A lot of billionaires, probably all of them, are evil narcissistic fuckheads. The narcissism does the heavy lifting. They can’t imagine themselves being poor, and they certainly can’t imagine themselves being the kind of poor person that they despise.

IKR that money belongs to you, not to him. He doesn’t deserve a cent of it.

Before doing that, I would very carefully describe the problem I want to solve and other possible solutions. There are (relatively uncommon) situations where LLMs make sense, but many people are buying the snake oil when they don’t need it. Wouldn’t want to be played a fool.

Sometimes people use FB to look up old acquaintances. I don’t, but it is a thing that one could do, and in fact many people do it.

Probably this also depends how often you moved. For example, if you moved away at age 18 and then somewhere else at age 22 or whatever, and will never go back to where you once were, it’s probably not so interesting to keep track of the past jerks. But if you’re still in the same city or region, maybe you would care more.

Right right. Siri data can be “anonymized” or format shifted, and then the new data is sold and used for marketing, and technically the company wasn’t lying. But the same problems still exist.

But don’t take my word. Just read the statement in the article and decide for yourself if they’re being sleazy or honest.

Universal health care is better than whatever you have, for 99.9% of the people 99.9% of the time. And it always was. And always will be.

That’s a good start, but where do you draw the line? If I use a template, is that AI? What if I am writing a letter based on that template and use a grammar checker to fix the grammar. Is that AI? And then I use the thesaurus to automatically beef up the vocabulary. Is that AI?

In other words, you can’t say LLM and think it’s a clear proposition. LLMs have been around and used for various things for quite a while, and some of those things don’t feel unnatural.

So I’m afraid we still have a definitional problem. And I don’t think it is easy to solve. There are so many interesting edge cases.

Let’s consider an old one. Weather forecasting. Of course the forecasts are in a sense AI models. Or models, if you don’t want to say AI. Doesn’t matter. And then that information can be displayed in a table, automatically, on a website. That’s a script, not really AI, but hey, you could argue the whole system now counts as AI. So then let’s use an LLM to put it in paragraph form, the table is boring. I think Weather.com just did this recently and labeled it “AI forecast”, in fact. But is this really an LLM being used in a new way? Is this actually harmful when it’s essentially the same general process that we’ve had for decades? Of course it’s benign. But it is LLM, technically…

Define the terms please. AI has existed for decades. What are you focusing on now?

Right but you should have said that first. The point of the post is not specifically to blindside your employer, IMO.
